Dr Hatlen is a miracle worker! I came in with the worst sciatic pain, shooting down to my ankle, could hardly walk or sit or do anything so he had me get x-rays. Noticed that I had three bulging discs and within 8 weeks I was pain-free! It Took a lot of time and work and patience, and I never thought it could be done because of the pain that I was in but again I’m pain-free and loving life again! Thank you Dr Hatlen!!

Dr. H is a learned, skillful chiropractor with a swell bedside manner. He takes the time to explain; and although he has a wealth of knowledge to impart, he's not the preachy type. I recommend him 100%. Oh yeah, I came to him for chronic pain and he resolved it.

I used to be one of those skeptics that thought chiro was some kind of voodoo. I'd also heard of a few stories from friends about not-so-great chiro experiences, so that didn't really boost my confidence. However, after seeing 3 "regular" doctors for my chronic issues with no real relief, I gave Dr. Hatlen a shot and was blown away by the results.
Ashley S • Jun 23, 2026
I was having trouble with a once-sprained knee and a hip I pulled out. After seeing him for a few months, the pain in the knee went away and I could walk normally again. The hip would still pop out for awhile so I came in once a month on the maintenance plan. Now I'm doing great and I continue to stop in once a month.
michael kruger • Jun 23, 2026
Was looking at surgery, was on pain meds and after a few weeks of treatments became 95 percent pain free around 5 months ago, he really knows what he is doing!! I'm still 95 percent pain free today. Getting on his nutrition program has been a huge help. Found other patients had similar experience.
